#and the Caligula Effect

[animalpetcel]

if anything, these EoS warnings should tell me I should invest more in single-pay games then gacha games...but it's been so long since I've been head over heels with a single-pay game's cast

And also I have so many I need to finish that Idk where to start anymore...

Sometimes you develop a really cursed speculative headcanon about a video game you like but you're unsure if you should even share it lest you upset the half dozen people who exist in the same fandom...

But anyway, we know a few things about Caligula 2:

The Vocaloid Artists hired for the game were sometimes told more about the characters they were assigned to write for than even gets divulged in-game.

Obbligato Musician Kudan has big plans for manipulating the Metaverse-es to affect the collective consciousness of the real world

The MV for her song Miss Conductor has a prominent visual motif of sun-rays (ala perhaps a certain rising sun flag) and what is unmistakably an iron cross

She quotes Hitler at one point (from his portrayal in a classic visual novel, fitting in with her other video game references, but still).

So like, the inevitable conclusion is that Kudan's a fascist and she's really burying the lede about her Father's political party, right? Some real "They ruined my father's political career just because he wants to deport all those queers, and I have a stutter" "What was that last bit?" "I have a stutter? In real life?" type shit.

Remember how Bluffman ostensibly plans to allow Kudan to do what she wants to reality, but then dunks her in data-goo out of nowhere, betraying her trust out of left field?

What if that isn't a case of Bluffman's recurring total incompetence, bumping off the literal only Obbligato Musician putting in nearly as much effort as the Ostinato crew?

What if it's actually a case of Bluffman's recurring legendarily poor communication skills, and he's actually removing the populist nationalist from play right before she's about to do shit to the real world?

Without explaining himself, as always.

Transmasc Swag Polls- ROUND 1

Propaganda and other info under the cut.

CANONICITY LEVELS-

GERRY: Gender Tomfuckery GIN: CANON Transmasc (identifies as transmaculine nonbinary)

MEDIA?

The Magnus Archives, The Caligula Effect 2

GERRY PROPAGANDA- Just… so iconic. He’s emo! He’s got eye tattoos everywhere! He’s deceased! When he said that his friends called him Gerry and his mom called him Gerard? SO TRANS!! he has shitty dyed black hair. is really tired all the time. he’s got everything meaningful to transmascs. GIN PROPAGANDA- HE IS CANONICALLY TRANSMASC. Like literally, he’s in the closet for most of the game and reveals it to the protag through his character episodes. He has high-heels in his magical girl form and he does backflips and axe kicks in them

[doctorbunny]

On one hand I'd love for most of the milgram cast to be canon lgbt (although Canon cis Muu is really funny in its own way)

But on the other, it's worth remembering the last Canon trans character Yamanaka wrote, whilst beloved also had his identity foreshadowed with non binary flag coloured shoes....

Like that's not a bad thing, but idk if any of the prisoners are on Gin Noto's level

Yamanaka needs to give me financial compensation for making me like the Lesbian TERF party member in CE1 who talks about how all men are perverts but then proceeds to jokingly flirt with the FemMC even though they Just Met Her and just tell you that she likes watching cute girls at the Cafe.

I Apologize for being an enjoyer of Cringe Women. I don't like that she's my fav either but the world decided I must bear the cross of caring about Cringe Women.

Got an IRL friend who's a bit of a vocaloid fangirl to play the Caligula Effect. She's loving it, and managed to guess who wrote the music for Sweet-P first try after only hearing her name.

Did you know the vocaloid producer OSTER project used to go by "futanari-P" (literally just in the sense of meaning gender ambiguous) in order to let listeners experience her works free of any conceptions of gender, before later admitting she was a woman, a lesbian at that?

Her current online handle is Fuwafuwa Cinnamon.

So Sweet-P, the fluffy fluffy dreamy cute Ostinato Musician was like, explicitly written with "we're gonna get OSTER project to write this one" in mind...
